Practice Like A Pro ‼️
Pro Level Warmup 🧠
Pickleball Warm-Up Recap
Dinks – Soft, controlled shots in the kitchen that help you establish touch, rhythm, and precision before points begin.
Drops – Aim low to the net and into the kitchen. Make sure that you are hitting resets and drops from every distance behind the kitchen line.
Resets – Get low with your legs and use your arms to push through the shot.
Fast Hands – Aim at the chest and continue to increase the speed as you go.
Serve – Working on consistent, deep serves that start you off strong and push opponents back.
Return – Practicing deep, controlled returns that give you time to reach the kitchen and set up the point.

Forehand Dink 🎬
🔥 What You’ll Learn in This Forehand Dink Video 🔥
Paddle Positioning for Inside-Out Dinks: Keep the paddle tip down but the face open to stay consistent and avoid pop-ups.
Efficient Swing Path: Lead with the butt cap, brush from underneath, and keep the paddle on the same side of your body.
Inside-In Dink Mechanics: Paddle tip up with a cupping motion to create controlled spin from the outside of the ball.
Minimal, Clean Swing: Use a short brushing motion without letting your body drift upward.
Disguise Techniques: Make your dink and speed-up motions look the same so opponents can’t anticipate attacks.
Smart Targeting: Aim a foot inside the sideline for deeper, penetrating dinks that push opponents off the line and force pop-ups.
